Our honest take
Large windows and a modern room make it easy to settle in. It is a useful free indoor stop in a condo-heavy area.
The open design can carry sound, and the route feels less direct than a branch attached to a subway station.
Plan the visit
Transit: Use the 509 Harbourfront or 510 Spadina streetcar and walk from Bathurst or Spadina.
Access: The branch lists accessible facilities. The surrounding streetcar and construction route should be checked on the day.
